writer crush

today i had the honor of attending a special screening and Q&A of martin scorsese's newest film, hugo:


the trailer does not do this film justice... it's magical, please go see it!! the opening shot is amazing, and the set is fantastic (apparently they actually built the whole entire train station!). there's something about old paris that really resonates with me, and fantasy movies in general, where the setting plays an enormous role in creating dream worlds. the film made me fall even more deeply in love with the magic of moviemaking.

the entire cast was present, as was the screenwriter, john logan. what a stud. i got to meet and talk to him! i felt giddy. i'm pretty sure i was smiling a little too big. kind of like the time i was bowled over by john hodgman, another studly writer. maybe i have a thing for johns.  

(nyc) :D
